Deceit And Corruption Prevail in The Crucible at Westfield Theatre
Miller’s powerful masterpiece, set in 1692, tells the story of John (Joey Biagini) and Elizabeth Proctor (Madeleine Bloxam), a painfully unhappy couple, whose lives are turned upside down when John’s former lover, Abigail Williams (Maggie Mitchell), falsely accuses citizens of Salem of being witches. The Proctors must prove their innocence to the power-hungry Reverend Samuel Parris (Ben Nelms) and the witchcraft expert Reverend John Hale (Nick Burroughs). Delirium ensues as promises are broken, motives are questioned, and sides are taken in this heartbreaking drama.
Susan McCormack-Pike directs this talented cast that also features Alex Mann, Bryan Pitt, Erica Schmidt, Sophia Alam, Mitchell Buckley, Corinne Holland, Rebecca Holley, Jacob Neuse, Abby Picard, Kelsey Thompson, Aidan Quartana, Kirsten Moser, Bayleigh Aschenbrenner, Allie Koenigsberg, Jorge Vallejos, Cameron Hilliard, Shannon Douglass, Nate Schrader, and Kyle Miller plus an outstanding ensemble that includes Sarah Schweit, Olivia Joseph, Rachel Shirley, Terri Lonstein, Anastasia Solovyeva, Paolah Urista, and Jessica Barrow. Chaz Coffin is the stage manager with Brandon Sanchez and Julian Sanchez as assistant stage managers. Original music composition is by Dieter Stach.
Miller wrote this fictionalized account of the Salem Witch Trials in response to the growing sense of paranoia within the entertainment industry, brought on by McCarthyism and the Hollywood blacklists of the 1950s. The play opened on Broadway in 1953 to critical acclaim and was later adapted into a popular 1996 film starring Daniel Day Lewis, Winona Ryder, and Joan Allen.
